Tomorrow is our last sunday together,
as we break up on Wednesday, so we're having the crackers then.

Christmas doesn't even get considered
until the 20th. That's how I go about it.

Sadly my family lives for it.
I find the whole celebration trivial at best.

so you're refusing to accept presents?

( Gilgamesh gazed in wonder as Frampton came alive, Sat 9 Dec 2006, 2:09, archived)

That's the only part I enjoy.
The rest is utterly pointless. I never buy presents for anyone because I never asked them to buy anything for me. If they wanted something they should have asked.

You're lucky you're not American!
Christmas starts getting rammed down your throat right after Halloween.

*fucking hates it*

However it is pretty open-minded as far as religion. Nearly EVERYONE gets off work, no matter their religion, for the only federally mandated religious holiday.
